Stomach cramps and can't defecate

Stomach cramps are a relatively rare condition, but it can be caused by various reasons. A common stomach problem is diarrhea. The feeling of stomach cramps is more serious than stomach pain. When this happens, it should be treated in time to prevent more serious consequences and the occurrence of some diseases. So what's the matter with stomach cramps and inability to defecate?

1. Sudden abdominal cramps occur, which come and go, and you can't defecate. This kind of pain is usually caused by acute gastroenteritis. The cause is usually eating spicy, stimulating, or cold food at noon, which causes the small intestine to be irritated during digestion and causes pain.

2. This pain is extremely severe and you cannot straighten your back when it hurts. However, the pain is not continuous but comes in waves. This indicates that the small intestine is struggling to digest the food you eat. If this happens suddenly at home, pay attention to the following matters.

3. Don’t use medications indiscriminately. Don't take all the gastrointestinal medicines in your medicine cabinet just because you have a stomachache. This is unscientific and very dangerous. Because some medicines for gastrointestinal problems are anti-diarrhea, some are anti-inflammatory, and some are laxatives...it can be very dangerous if you take them indiscriminately.

4. You should not take antidiarrheal drugs for this type of acute gastroenteritis, because some ingredients in antidiarrheal drugs absorb water in the small intestine, which will make the enteritis more serious. Generally, you need to take gas-relieving and antibacterial drugs.

5. If you don’t have enough medicine at home, you can use a hot water bag or bottle and place it near your belly button. Cover your belly through your underwear, otherwise your skin will easily be burned. Heating the small intestine can enhance the activity of digestive enzymes in the small intestine, which is beneficial for excreting spicy, cold and difficult-to-digest foods.

6. Drink more boiled water and hot porridge to replenish water to prevent dehydration. The stomach and intestines also need a lot of water for digestion.

7. It would be even better if you have cupping at home. Putting a few cups next to your belly button is very effective.
